Don't hold on ... to what's wrong

 Don't hold on to what's wrong  is the theme for this term's Heartsmart and Giraffes shared their learning with the whole school in collective worship yesterday.  

Being HeartSmart means learning how to let the bad feelings out of our hearts so we can feel happy again.

Anger

Sharing our experiences. We talked about the anger iceberg : Most of the iceberg is underwater. There is only a little bit that’s showing.  It can be a bit like our anger. The top part is the part you see - us being angry. Underneath are the reasons we felt angry. There is a lot more under the surface than what we can see.

Maybe we are hungry, late or tired, but we show the emotion of anger. It's good to find out what's the real reason for our anger. When we are angry, we need to ask ourselves what we are really feeling underneath

Our anger iceberg

Forgiveness

If a friendship has gone wrong - we can choose to forgive people, which makes us feel better.

Different perspectives

We looked at some pictures and then we talked about what we saw in the pictures. Some of us saw one thing first, but others saw something different.

What do you see first?

Scroll to the bottom for the answers.

Sometimes see things in different ways from other people. This is often the same when two people fall out or argue; they are looking at the same situation but seeing things very differently.

Through drama, we showed how we need to find out both sides of the story when we have a  fall-out.  

Our song choice was Hold on and the Giraffes led the singing beautifully.

You can hold on, or you can let go.

You did a fantastic job. Well done Giraffes.
